KDPS Hoops Contest

May 11, 2017 by Kalamazoo Public Safety

On May 10, 2017 at approximately 6:00pm, Kalamazoo Public Safety Officers received to a call for service at Milwood Middle School. Officers responding to the call began interacting with the young men and women socializing at the basketball court. Public Safety Officers Reidenbach, Spann, Radenovic, Oliver and Halcrow engaged with the youth. PSO’s Reidenbach and Spann became involved in a long shot contest with the group.

PSO Spann began the competition with a couple of air balls; this resulted in “boos” from the gallery. PSO Reidenbach stepped up and on his first and only attempt, redeemed Public Safety and drained a long range shot, resulting in pandemonium from the excited spectators!

Kalamazoo Public Safety is committed to positive interaction in our communities. One of our priorities is to build relationships within our city, with an emphasis on our youth.
